Colts' Draft Day Two: Defensive Playmakers & Weapons

0:00On April 24th, the Indianapolis Colts are sitting pretty heading into day two of the NFL draft, rounds two and three. They traded their 2026 first-round pick to Snack Star Cornerback Saw Scardner from the Jets last season, so they sat out round one. Now with the draft kicking off at 7pm Eastern tonight, they've got prime chances at top talent. This class runs deep without those elite blue-chive guys of top, and round one proved it. 32 picks later, plenty of first-round caliber players are still on the board. The Colts are one of 16s without a first-rounder, putting them in the same sweet spot as a few others eyeing value. Fans and analysts are buzzing because the remaining prospects line up perfect with Indie's biggest holes, linebacker, defensive end, wide receiver, safety, and cornerback. No clear starters they're entering the draft, so they're prioritizing those spots while eyeing depth on the lines and they're running back too. They hold picks 47 in round two, and 78 in round three, and with surplus talent, GM Chris Ballard might even trade back from, 47 for more picks instead of moving up.

1:08Standouts like linebacker Anthony Hill Jr., Edge gave Joccas, linebacker CJ Allen, corner D'Angelo Ponds, and Edge's Zion Young could be in play for. Round two, as the board falls this way, the Colts looked prime to load up on defensive playmakers and weapons. Day two could reshape their roster quick.
